Theology of C. S. Lewis

1 credits · Divinity School

A study of the most widely read English-speaking theologian of the twentieth century. This course covers Lewis' major fantasy literature and select apologetic and other works in light of the classical, patristic, and medieval traditions that influenced him. We will examine the enduring value of Lewis's theological, spiritual, and imaginative work while also noting areas where his writing was time-bound, such as gender roles and ethnicity. Prior study of Christian scripture, theology, or ethics, or Western medieval literature, is desired.
